Minor in Psychology

The Minor in Psychology provides non-psychology Major students with knowledge and experience that will enhance their understanding of human behaviours and mental processes. The design of the Minor Programme provides students with an overview of a representative array of psychology domains and specialisations. Students are expected to acquire knowledge in major areas in psychology studies.
